Merci ☺️
Hello, and sorry to bother you, but I've signed up a couple of times and your website says I'll get an email that never shows up. I've looked in my spam folder too but nothing appears. :(
Back in the days there use to be something call "Home economics" I took cooking and sewing class .I never ever regretted it ,these simple things to learn are so very valuable,, I suggest to everyone take time to learn the simple things in life One will see how much more beautiful your clothes come turn out and how fantastic your meals turn out (AND BEST OF ALL YOU SAVE A LOT OF MONEY) thank you for sharing what a cute simple dress.just a note : the new name of home economics" Is" CFS. (Family consumer science) 💖🤗👩👦👦👦
Back in the day? My 15 yr old is taking it now, it hasn't disappeared, there's just loads more options to consider now. She's taking Home Ec and an Engineering (STEM) course because they're basically the same thing, fabrication with different materials ; )
Cheers
I took Home-Ec aa well and agree with you 100%. The public school system has become an epic failure at preparing youth for real life.
Sadly they don’t encourage these skills anymore because girls are not supposed to be ‘girly’ nowadays, so they will struggle to be homemakers.. which seems to be the goal( do some research please.. if you wish to know what’s really going on).
Glory be to God Most High. Jesus Christ saves 🙏🏼
I just completed this dress... I love it! I I upcycled a vintage embroidered white cotton tablecloth. It is the most comfortable dress! Thank you for the pattern and tutorial.
I love hearing this, thanks for sharing Gloria!
iDo you have an ig handle? i'd love to see it please
@@CLOUDSINTHEKITCHEN Sure! @gloriasloancastellanos. I did have to make some adjustments on how I cut the tablecloth so that the embroidered part would be shown on the front. I cut the sides and joined them to form the back panel. It worked out really good because I was able to leave a cute slit on the back. Then I followed Courtney's instructions 😊
Sounds lovely ❤
I was thinking I could use an old sheet. I love to repurpose things.
Thank you for for giving very clear, understandable patterns and clear instructions. I've watched a LOT of sewing videos over the last few days, and your is the best I've seen so far.
Just sewed this lovely dress and I struggled with the turn up. So I made another and did the turn ups on the flat before sewing side seams together. So much easier for my brain. I also added pretty external pockets which I love. Thank you so very much for all the hard work that I know goes into creating a garment and then filming for utube. Excellent work and a joy to watch you create. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful tip! Thank you for sharing, I imagine that will be helpful for others as well :)
I'm so glad you got to make this dress!
I am really struggling to understand how to do the turn up / pleats at the bottom, i can't see how to do it clearly on the video.
@@clairekendrick9059 hello claire. I struggled with it too so did another one and before sewing the sides I did the turn up on the flat.
@brendaseaborn5407 thank you, sorry for sounding stupid but i am a complete beginner, how are you bringing it up to do the turn up please.?
@@clairekendrick9059 that’s ok claire. If you have the fabric right side facing up just pinch hold of the sides and lift up a little to your desired fold and pin.
Buying sheets is such a great idea! I do it sometimes, too. This dress is perfect! I am, totally in love with it! Thank you for the video!
The fabric really goes a long way! Thanks for watching :)
Thank You, Rooney Sewing Patterns 🧵your dress design is cute!
Oh thank you!
I finished the dress today. I added zippers to the pockets. That was a challenge since I haven't done that in years. Many thanks for the beautiful dress and directions. Enjoy your videos.
So, i've watched your video and saved it to make it when I came across the right material. I thrifted a very beautiful white cotton curtain with a hombre effect bluish flowers across bottom and i had to do it. I didn't cut in half i used the with for front and back bodice and cut top of curtain for the shoulder straps and chest placket. It turned out so beautiful. I'm so proud of myself. I'm a begginer sewer 😊.
I made chest placket 12 inches and it's a bit loose under the arms, so next one w be 10 inches. I'm a size 10 but i use 12s or 14s for a looser fit and the dress ended up as a 14ish. 😊😊
Thank you so much❤
Looking thru my fabric stash to make more ❤😂 and more shower curtains when thrifting.
Oh I love hearing this! Thank you so much for sharing, I'm proud of you :)
I love the pleats at the bottom! Great tutorial
Thank you Christin!!
Love this style for a nightgown.
Great idea!
Your creation turned out beautifully and the fabric was perfect for lounging. Great job.
Thank you Linda!
Wow, I have just thought of what I can do instead if cutting off the bottom of a long dress, I can do your layer idea instead. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with us and hello from Queensland Australia. 😊
Oh that's a wonderful idea!! And hello, from across the world :)
I took sewing classes at school, and this has come in so handy ,I just dont like how some people take advantage of my skills without remuneration.
I really love this comfortable dress 🩶🩶🩶🩶
My grandmother taught me to pull out a long string ,bobbin and top thread.then zig zag st over the thread and walla you have perfect gathering every time
Yes! I've tried that idea as well, its a great method!
BRILLIANT idea for a dress from cotton/ linen table cloth
Finished dress looks simply adorable and comfortable...
Thanks so much for sharing...👍👏❤️💖💝🌹🥰
Thank you Pauline!
Adorable, I just finished a dress for my daughter, made from a vintage sheet. After seeing yours I want to make one with a collar. It's sweet

Thank you for this tutorial. A lovely dress in a gorgeous colour 🧡
Thank you, Rita!
No hay nada como una prenda cómoda e inspiradora. Gracias mil por tu trabajo. Bendiciones
So beautiful. If I can find a white linen sheet and dye it to that sage color, I’d be really happy 😁
What a great idea, Lily!
Love the dress! Looks so comfy for summer weather.😊
It is the perfect dress for those warm temperatures!
Thanks alot i love the tutorial, ❤
Oh I'm happy to hear that!
Gracias! Tus tutoriales me encantan porque hacer ver la costura como algo fácil, descomplicado y divertido! Felicidades!
Thank you so much 🙏🌹
I believe it’s better to sew the placket to the gathered bodice with the gathers face down so that the feed dogs move the gathers along smoothly. This works for me.
Thats a great tip!
great job. very creative with the pleats at the bottom.
thank you!
This is adorable! Thank you so much for such a great video
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the tutorial and pattern, I can't wait to get started.
You’re most welcome Claire. I practiced with a piece of paper to get my head round it 😊
I love this dress, I will make one soon. Try the bias tape maker along with the iron for the straps, it's so much easier.
Thats a great tip, Dawn!
I Love This!!!! It just gives the feeling of Beauty that connects with Nature!!!
I made it! Sew easy ;) Thank you so much for this video.
You are welcome! Glad to hear it was easy for you and that you made this dress :)
I was in search of this pleated dress. Here its heavy summer time and this dress is perfect 😍 to get some air❤Thank you dear. Your job is appreciated 👍
Bellissimo nella sua semplicità! Complimenti
Thank you! Can’t wait to make this!
You are welcome! I'd love to see when you finish :)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful dress pattern
Happy to! Thanks for being here, Pam.
great video, easy to follow for a beginner ❤❤❤
I have a beautiful sheet & I don't have the bed for it anymore. NOW I know what to do with it 😊❤
Oh yay! Happy to hear that :)
I have these white linen curtains that would be perfect for this! Might need to line it but still! Wish I’d seen this before sewfrugal!!
I’m just cutting out my fabric now and have a couple questions. The armhole pattern was printed 100% to scale but mine seems to be a bit smaller than your armhole cutout in the video. My armhole cut out to the size small is under five inches and yours seems to be a few inches bigger-I just wanted to make sure that that is correct. Also in the video you said to line the armhole cutout up to the top of the fabric but it appears you placed it a few inches from the top to cut it out and I was just wondering if I am missing something! Thank you so much and I apologize if these questions are stupid (I’m a beginner at sewing)!
Hi Maggie!! Not stupid at all, questions are a good thing :)
After filming the video, I made some edits for the fit to be better for the pattern, that's why it appears bigger in the video. The armhole is smaller on the pattern so that it doesn't go too far down on the side. So you'll want to align the armhole cutout to the top of the fabric still.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Спасибо! Я обязательно попробую сшить! 😊🌷🌷🌷
Thnxs. U had my idea
Lovely dress thank you so much xxx
Happy to share!
Hi, I loved making this dress! Could it be that there is the wrong measurement with the printable armhole? When I printed it, it looked really different than in the video (even printing the same size).
This is such a great tutorial and I can't wait to make this for myself. Just curious, I have a large bust and have to wear a bra. With that said, should I increase the size of the placard to the same width as straps I need to have a more uniformed look or would it be fine as it? And thank you so much for sharing this!
I'm a 42 chest and i did 12 inches for chest placket and kept the 23 inches for shoulder strap. Also used the entire with of a cotton shower curtain (about 62 inches) and it came out to about a size 12 or 14ish... the gathering makes foe very roomy on top 😉 . Hope it helps...next time i w do 10 inches since it was a bit loose underarm area. But I'll wear w jean jacket or a long sleve undershirt. 😊
Excellent craftsmanship. Very detailed video.
Please let me know what does “measure across the bust” mean? Measuring only the front of the bust 2x or all the way around 2x? Thank you❤
Hi! You can measure all around to get the bust measurement and you can use this as the width for each rectangle. So if your bust measures 40inches, the width for the front would be 40 and the back would be 40 as well. This gives it room to create the gathers.
Beautiful dress! Would there be a simple way to make the straps thicker to make the dress more modest on top? Or would that end up throwing everything off?
I’m going to try to make this dress with 2 in wide straps this week! Hoping it turns out!
A new project. Thank you!🎉
this is awesome! I def want to look at the thrift store for linen!
I have fallen in love with this dress, it is my project right now! I need you to help me with the armhole pattern. when printing the pattern it comes out small. How can I print it? Or how can I get my armhole out? Thank you!!
What a greaf tutorial..Thank you so much
I am on my computer and the pattern is not available but i am positive i can figure it out. Probably make this into a nightgown/house dress as this is the perfect pattern for it! Thank you.
Great idea!! The link has been updated, let me know if you have questions :)
@@RooneySewingPatterns thank you!!!!
so pretty
Thank you Odette! :)
I love this! I was wondering if there was a simple way to add sleeves to this?
Wow! What a nice looking one and looked comfortable too.
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you, Wendy!
this is very pretty
So cute!
New Subscriber here. Luv this Channel, thank u for sharing!
I just tried to download and it keeps coming up as an error
I would recommend opening it on a desktop! Or you can email me and I can send it to you that way :)
Same here I keep getting error page and haven’t got a desk top 😢
Page 8 and 9 seems to be super small when I'm printing, what am I doing wrong?
I would double check it is printing at 100% scale or "actual size" in the print box.
Precioso vestido!!!
If my chest is thinner then my belly, I suppose that i take the biggest part of my body and add ease to the rectangle?
Yes, that's a great way to do it! Or you can just take your widest measurement. When you gather it to the chest measurement, it will flow nicely!
This is my night dress😁😁
love it!
Do we need to add seam allowance and ease to all the pattern pieces or is it included in the measurements?
Hi! No, its all included :)
Thank you for this beautiful pattern! Sooo… I am a super beginner when it comes to garment sewing. Actually, this is my first try… I’ve only made a couple of curtains before. My pieces are cut (except for pockets… don’t feel ready for that yet 😊), and now I have a super rookie question 😂 My front and back pieces happen to have salvage edge both up at the bust and down at my ankles. Should I cut off the salvage edge at the top? I am thinking that the fabric is slightly thicker, and might fall better with the gathering if I cut it off? My fabric is a linen/viscose blend. I assume that with the hemming at the ankles, the salvage edge is just a plus.
Hey! Yay for sewing for the first time projects like this :)
For this time, you can cut off the salvage edge. I think it should be fine and may not flow 100% like you want it but may still work!
Next time, you'll want the salvage edge to be parallel to the flow of the dress. So it would lay parallel to the long side of the dress. Does this make sense? It will just make sure that the fabric lays correctly :)
@@RooneySewingPatterns I understand 😊 Thanks for explaining 😊 This way I could cut the fabric with almost zero waste, but I have bought the same fabric in another color and plan to make another one. It might be more narrow that way, but will be interesting to see the difference in how the dress flows 😊 And thanks for a super quick reply 😊
@@RooneySewingPatterns oh… and another thing… I don’t know if it matters… I’m a bit of a perfectionist (but I’m working on being patient with myself 😉) But what I did when I cut my fabric was picking out a strand of fabric to get a guideline, and they seem pretty 90 degrees on the salvage edge. Does that mean that the flow should be ok? I have also pre-washed it so it should be done with any shrinking…
Спасибо всё так мило 💋💋
Thank you!!
How do we get the pattern pieces for the armholes? The tutorial pdf has then mini. How much do I expand it to print? Thanks!
I've used the same Brother machine since age 18 and now almost 59. What are you using?
And....beautifully created dress!
Wow!! What a testament to the craftsmanship of that machine and you taking good care of it :) I am using a Babylock Grace - its discontinued but has been great for me!
Thank you, Robin!
This is such a beautiful dress ❤❤ i have subscribed and looked for the pattern but couldn’t find. Could I please have the pattern?
Oh I'm sorry about that - definitely! I'm working on updating the link, if you want to message me on IG I can get you the pattern :)
the music is fine
Hi Courtney.....
I downloaded the tutorial, but is there a way to know how large to make the armhole pattern piece? I can't find where to print the pattern to size.
Thank you.
Hi! I would select "actual size" when printing. This will help make it to the right scale when printing on a 8.5x11 piece of paper.
Thank you@@RooneySewingPatterns
Sou Eliza esse vestido é lindo esse é meu estilo à cara do meu país Brasil 😅
How do you download slip dress pocket pieces and armhole pieces?
Interesting way to hold a pencil, I’m a lefty so I tend to hold mine in various ways too..what made you hold yours like this?
Hi Veronica,
I started writing like this young and never looked back - its been more comfortable for me!
Hi, they look so lovely but I’m wondering what do you do with the tie at the back? In your video there is no bulging tie that is visible how do you hide the tie at the back so it’s flat? Thank you
Are you only measuring the front of the bust x2 or all the way around x2?
I also want to know it!
What would be the best fabrics to use for this gorgeous dress please?
Beautiful work!! I subscribed to your emails, last night. But I am still unable to find the pattern for this dress (I didnt get any emails). I'm excited to make this dress!
Oh thank you, Desiree! I recommend checking your spam, if it isn't there then email me or message me on IG and I'll help you out :)
Do you think this would work with a more flowy/drapier fabric?
Definitely!
Nice
Thank you!
Me gusta el vestido XL

As I click the slip dress pattern for women, it linked to pillowcase dress pattern for kids not the right pattern I think. I hope you fix this error, or am I wrong? coz I’m excited to try your pattern. Thx :‘)
Hi! We are trying to fix it, thank you for asking - I just updated the link in the description, it will open on Desktop! :)
Made tops like this in the ‘60s out of pillowcases…
Yes!! I did this for my daughter as well, a great idea for a top :)
My hips are wider than the other measurements, this method wouldn’t work out. So cutting a rectangle to my bust measurement then grading out the hip would be better for me.
That's a great observation, I think you have the right idea going that route.
Can you please tell how many yards of fabric we should buy? Lovely dress❤
Hi! This is all dependent on what size you are making. I would take your measurements of the large rectangles and then use that to determine how many yards you'll need.
I’ve never seen anyone grasp a pencil the way you do.
I love how different it is.
(I personally think it’s cool and I wonder does it reduce stress on your joints? I love writing but my hands cramp so bad)
haha, it is definitely different! I've written this way since I was little...it has always been more comfortable for me, especially since I use my hands a lot to make things and I love writing too. It would probably take time to get used to but maybe try it out :)
❤I LOVE IT ❤
What material did you use for the dress? Linen material?
Yes! I found this 100% linen as a duvet and recycled it into this dress :)
Could this be made into a jumpsuit by cutting down the middle of the skirt and sewing pant legs?
That's an interesting idea! I think the best way to do that would be to cut each pannel in half so you would have a seam down the front. I'll have to explore this idea a little more because usually you want to cut a specific shape for pant legs to make sure it wraps correctly around the legs/crotch area.
I think you could cut a U shape out of the bottom, but it would probably need a gusset!
Hi have tried to download this tutorial for the slip dress but keep getting an error. Is it possible to provide an updated link ? Many thanks
